That’s good, because until we get a weather report that says, "Ice storm hits hell," politics says it probably isn’t going to happen.

Springsteen, the homegrown, raspy-voiced poet of the working class, spent a lot of time and money campaigning to send George W. Bush home to Texas. That would be the same President Bush who gave Christie his job as U.S. attorney, which set him on his way to being elected governor.

Still, we’d like to see Springsteen put politics aside and do it for New Jersey. The way things are going in the state these days, we all need a Kumbaya moment — Republicans, Democrats and independents — just with a better song.
